On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got two guys who stepped away from their bigger bands and made an incredible record together 10 years ago. The occasion for this conversation isn't just that album's anniversary, but also the announcement of the duo's first real tour behind it later this year. It's Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam. In 2016, when I Had A Dream That You Were Mine was released, Leithauser had already released one post-Walkmen solo album, and Rostam had just left Vampire Weekend. But the pair had known each other for quite a while before that: The Walkmen brought Vampire Weekend out as openers on one of their first tours, which you'll hear about in this chat, back in 2008. Rostam, a guy well into production and songwriting in his own band, had even contributed to Leithauser's first solo album, Black Hours. So it seemed natural for the two to link up for a whole album, and between 2014 and 2016 they wrote and recorded I Had A Dream That You Were Mine, sometimes linking up in their shared hometown of Washington DC—parts of the record, as you'll hear, we recorded in Rostam's childhood home. Freed at least partially from the expectations associated with their other bands, the duo crafted a gorgeous pastiche that ended up sounding timeless: Sometimes it's got early rock and roll vibes, sometimes it's the Bob Dylan/Leonard Cohen energy Leithauser often hinted at, writ larger. It's fantastic. But because these guys had busy separate lives, they never really toured these songs together. That will change this November, with a band featuring, as you'll hear in this chat, Rostam's young guys. It's a brief tour hitting mostly bigger U.S. cities, and I imagine it'll be one of your only chances to see these songs performed live. You can find dates below, but in the meantime, check out the big single from I Had a Dream That You Were Mine. This is “A 1000 Times.” In this delightful chat, Hamilton and Rostam talk about the few shows they played together—including an embarrassing flub that Rostam had forgotten. They also go through the writing process for most of the songs, which is fascinating, but not before a brief conversation about playing tennis. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam for chatting. Tour Dates: 5 Washington DC - 9:30 Club 6 Philadelphia PA - World Cafe Live - Music Hall 7 Woodstock NY - Bearsville Theater 9 Brooklyn NY - Music Hall of Williamsburg 10 Brooklyn NY - Music Hall of Williamsburg 11 Somerville MA - Somerville Theatre 13 Toronto ON - The Concert Hall 14 Detroit MI - Saint Andrew's Hall 15 Chicago IL - Thalia Hall 18 San Francisco CA - Castro Theatre 19 Los Angeles CA - Pacific Electric If you liked what you heard, please follow Talkhouse on your favorite podcasting platform, and check out all the great stuff at Talkhouse.com.

Cette semaine Margaux Lassalle met en lumière une chanson immense et incontournable : "Because the Night" de Patti Smith. Sorti en mars 1978 sur "Easter", le troisième album de celle que l'on surnomme la marraine du punk, ce titre possède une genèse fascinante. Initialement ébauché par Bruce Springsteen, le morceau a été retravaillé et sublimé par Patti Smith, alors très inspirée dans l'attente d'un appel de son amoureux, Fred Sonic Smith du groupe MC5. Il en résulte une œuvre directe et profondément sensuelle, abordant le désir comme une faim et un feu dévorant. Ce classique passionné a naturellement séduit de nombreux artistes au fil des années, s'adaptant à des univers très variés. Bruce Springsteen lui-même l'a très souvent interprété sur scène, en livrant notamment une version mémorable à Atlanta quelques mois seulement après la sortie originale. En 1993, le groupe américain 10,000 Maniacs en propose une lecture acoustique légèrement plus dépouillée mais particulièrement fidèle lors de son fameux live MTV Unplugged. Le morceau a également prouvé son efficacité sur les pistes de danse : au début des années 90, le duo italien Co.Ro. et la chanteuse Taleesa le transforment en un véritable tube eurodance en y intégrant un sample de "Master and Servant" de Depeche Mode. Une intensité clubbing qui sera encore accentuée en 2008 avec la reprise survoltée du groupe allemand Cascada. Pour clore cette rétrospective, la chronique s'attarde sur une réinterprétation beaucoup plus proche de l'esprit rock originel du titre, signée par le groupe Garbage accompagné de Screaming Females. D'abord partagée sur scène, cette relecture a finalement été immortalisée il y a deux ans sur la compilation "Copy/Paste". Portée par la voix grave et charismatique de Shirley Manson ainsi que par un solo de guitare explosif, cette version musclée rend un vibrant hommage à l'intensité du classique de Patti Smith.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions with Jason P. Woodbury. This week on the show, writer and musician Sam Sodomsky, who records and releases music—a lot of it—under the name The Bird Calls. His latest slice of literate folk rock and alt-country songcraft is called Take Leave, and it was released on August 28 via Ruination Record Co. Inspired by songwriters like Dan Bejar of Destroyer, who's appeared here on Transmissions and Bruce Springsteen, who has not appeared on the podcast—yet—Take Leave rattles with downcast charm. Its songs are sly and full of knowing. Take opening track “Some Bands” for instance, where Sodomsky sings, with poetic scope: “Some bands break up/Some stay together/Ice sculptures in the front yard/Melting in the sun.” When he's not making records, Sodomsky writing about them, primarily at Pitchfork. Here, he discusses his songwriting process, how he keeps hearing new things to love in the work of Springsteen, and where he thinks music journalism is headed. Learn more about your ad choices.

When an actor opens their mouth to sing in a movie, chances are high that the voice you hear will be their own. Even in music biopics, movie stars without much singing experience regularly go to great lengths to impersonate the most beloved vocalists of our time. Why not simply play Johnny Cash or Bruce Springsteen's actual recordings, the reasons why we care about them in the first place? When the world is full of beautiful singing voices, why force Pierce Brosnan to bray his way through Mamma Mia?What you hear when an actor unhinges their jaw is a matter that Hollywood has been negotiating since the dawn of sound. So in this episode, we'll learn about the “ghost singers” of classic Hollywood musicals, find out why they went extinct, and why today's music biopics so often fudge the music. Then we leave Hollywood for Bollywood, where the rise of the celebrity “playback singer” shows what can happen when good singing is the highest priority.In this episode, you'll hear from Slate's pop music critic Jack Hamilton; musicologist Dominic Broomfield-McHugh, editor of The Oxford Handbook of the Hollywood Musical; Stephen Cole, co-author of a memoir by the ghost singer Marni Nixon; Isaac Butler, longtime Slate contributor and scholar of American acting; and Nasreen Munni Kabir, who has written several books on Hindi cinema and curates Indian films for the UK's Channel 4.This episode was written and produced by Max Freedman. It was edited by Willa Paskin and Evan Chung, our supervising producer. Decoder Ring is also produced by Katie Shepherd.

Thanks god BBCG dropped the terrible rap idea.

Hear "American Girl" or "Born in the U.S.A." and, like it or not, chances are you begin to hum along. The soundtrack of grocery stores, pool halls, bowling alleys, flea markets, chain restaurants, drug stores, and political rallies--heartland rock, while beloved by some and derided by others, is inescapable even today. As rollicking as the music it describes, acclaimed music critic Erin Osmon's Won't Back Down: Heartland Rock and the Fight for America (W. W. Norton & Company, 2026) tells the story of the origins, chart-topping development, and tangled legacy of heartland rock, the music that ruled the airwaves of the 1980s and remains instantly recognizable to millions. Spinning an entertaining and eye-opening account, Osmon delves into the complicated afterlife of heartland rock's classic albums and songs, including Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run," Bob Seger's "Against the Wind," John Mellencamp's "Small Town," and Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down." She demonstrates the centrality of often-overlooked women like Melissa Etheridge, Bonnie Raitt, and Lucinda Williams--explaining how some of the most popular music of the time was made beyond its white-male stereotypes. She traces the genre's connections to country and Americana, and reveals how legendary figures like Prince were inspired by and expanded heartland rock. And she shows how its success revitalized the careers of figures like Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Through it all, she explores the '80s cultural developments that fostered the genre--such as the rise of MTV and the switch to CDs--and argues that the music played a vital role in opposition to '80s conservatism and in support of LGBTQ rights, labor issues, and the environmental movement. A fair-minded critic with an ear for a great behind-the-scenes story, Osmon makes clear that at its best, heartland rock connected with millions of overlooked people longing to be heard. Erin Osmon is a music journalist, critic, and author of books on John Prine and Jason Molina. Her writing appears in the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Rolling Stone, and others. She won the Deems Taylor/Virgil Thompson Award for album notes in 2023 and several LA Press Club Southern California Journalism awards. She lives in Nashville. Erin Osmon's website and Instagram.

Gene Simmons joins Andrew Gold for a completely unfiltered Heretics interview about KISS, celebrity politics, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Israel, fame, sex, money—and the first 29 years of his relationship with Shannon Tweed, which he now sees very differently. The KISS co-founder and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer explains why he believes the public should ignore political advice from entertainers—including himself. He takes aim at celebrity activism, discusses Kylie Jenner, Javier Bardem, Bruce Springsteen and Billie Eilish, reveals why he abandoned the Democratic Party, and warns that Los Angeles and New York are in deep trouble. But the most revealing moments are personal. Gene discusses being abandoned by his father, the terrifying childhood night that taught him to rely on himself, his extraordinary self-belief and why he says fame gave him permission to behave in ways an ordinary man never could. He also addresses the stories about 4,800 women, admits how his behaviour affected Shannon and their children, and responds directly to an explosive accusation involving his late KISS bandmate Ace Frehley. Along the way: Donald Trump, Mike Tyson, Margaret Thatcher, antisemitism, Israel, Islam, capitalism, the nuclear family, Gene's infamous tongue—and how KISS became “Disney without the overhead,” selling everything from condoms to caskets. This is Gene Simmons as few interviews capture him: funny, combative, candid and completely unfiltered.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes Boston-based consultant and lifelong Springsteen fan Andy Freed to discuss Freed's book, "Lead Like The Boss: The Bruce Springsteen Framework to Elevating Your Leadership." Freed shares how discovering "Born to Run" at age eight sparked a fandom that's led to nearly 100 shows, and explains how the arc of a Springsteen concert maps to practical leadership and communication lessons—preparation, staying on message, energizing an audience, building trust, and empowering a team. They talk about Bruce's onstage habits like thanking every band member nightly, the importance of adapting to audience feedback, and the purpose-driven, political tone of the recent tour. Freed also highlights favorite songs and albums, concert memories like See.Hear.Now in Asbury Park, and answers the show's “Mary question” about "Thunder Road." 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:39 Meet Andy Freed 02:28 Growing Up With Music 03:13 Discovering Born to Run 06:19 Tour Talk And Politics 07:18 Career Path To Consulting 08:19 Why He Wrote The Book 09:48 Leadership Lessons From The Stage 15:01 Setlists Preparation And Purpose 19:08 Fan View On Predictable Setlists 23:35 Rehearsal And Great Teams 29:11 Audience First Leadership 32:04 Whats Next And Favorite Songs 34:41 Memorable Shows And Future Goals 36:46 Book Buzz And Band Connections 38:21 Thunder Road Mary Question 39:08 Where To Find Andy 40:01 Closing Thanks And Outro Learn more about your ad choices.

“It's a dying gasp of white supremacy — and I say dying with a caveat, because that part depends on us.” — Sonali Kolhatkar Yesterday, Wendy Lesser suggested that Americans can learn much from the anti-fascist history of Berlin in the 1930s. Today, Rising Up With Sonali host Sonali Kolhatkar is even more explicit. Yes, she argues in her new book, Breaking ICE, the 2020s are eerily similar to the 1930s, especially in what she calls “state terror” and “MAGA fascism.” In 2023, Sonali Kolhatkar came on this show to talk about Rising Up, a book about the power of narrative. Three years later, her new book describes what she sees as the dying gasp of white supremacy. But to fully die, she argues, the community needs to rise up. So, like the perennial fascist threat, the ability to tell stories is a perpetual feature of politics. Thus Breaking ICE, Kolhatkar's story of stories about community defense against MAGA fascism. Five Takeaways •       Narrative Is Everything. The crackdown, Kolhatkar argues, was built on stories: immigrants “poisoning the blood of the nation” — Hitlerian language, used repeatedly — recast a population of workers and families as criminals, justifying the funding, the raids, and the denial of due process. The counternarrative is her book's project: the activists who retold the story of ICE agents as Gestapo-like masked thugs, and did it so successfully that public opinion has swung back. Trump, she argues, overplayed his hand — every day brings another story of a Trump voter whose spouse is deported at a routine check-in, protesting “this is not what we voted for.” The sequel to Rising Up thus practices what that book preached: narrative as the primary weapon of politics — a weapon, she notes via Springsteen and the protest singers, that artists have always wielded and the right has lately understood better than the left.•       A Dying Gasp — With a Caveat. Asked flatly whether this is a repeat of the 1930s, Kolhatkar answers yes — and adds that the echo is deliberate, down to “homeland,” a favorite term of the Nazis that George W. Bush domesticated. But the deeper lineage is homegrown: her interviewees Ibram X. Kendi and Robin D. G. Kelley trace American fascism through Native dispossession and mass enslavement — authoritarian, anti-democratic, racist. ICE, on this reading, is simply race-based policing restored. Hence her verdict: “a dying gasp of white supremacy,” with the caveat that the dying depends on us. No magic bullets, no finish line: “democracy is an ongoing exercise. There is no resting when it comes to freedom.” Fittingly, the episode lands the day after Wendy Lesser's Berlin hour — Kolhatkar making explicit what the cautionary mirror implied.•       The Mamdani Lesson. The hour's sharpest political analysis: flip the script on electoral politics. Politicians want elections as popularity contests — “this is who I am, who's behind me?” — when voters should be saying “this is what we want, who will back our demands?” The not-Trump ad is the losing move: it was Hillary Clinton's approach, Kamala Harris's approach, and now Xavier Becerra's in California. The winning move is Zohran Mamdani's: voters could instantly name what he was for — free buses, city-run grocery stores, rent control, universal childcare, fixed potholes. Her model is the civil rights movement, which didn't wait for a savior politician but marched and forced hands. And her defense against the radicalism charge: what the American left demands — healthcare for all — is centrist in Europe. If public schools are education for all, why not Medicare for All? And to Andrew's pushback — doesn't Abolish ICE alienate the persuadable middle? — her answer is the polling: majorities already oppose the raids, because Trump overreached.•       What State Terror Looks Like. The subtitle's claim, cashed out: downtown Los Angeles under curfew, freeways shut, armed National Guardsmen at the federal buildings — and the refrain she heard nationwide: who will save us from these masked thugs? The realization that the police belong to the same structure taught the lesson in her credo: only the people can save the people. The terror is bureaucratic as much as theatrical — green-card applicants seized at airports en route to see friends, families ripped apart, and 20,000 immigrant children stripped of legal representation in defiance of a law George W. Bush signed (“who we thought at the time was the fascist authoritarian and is now, you know, like a Democrat”). Against it, the book's nineteen voices — from Maine to Georgia to LA — deploy whistles, bullhorns, patrols, documentation, and, in a civil-rights echo, holding hands and singing to bring the temperature down. With Viet Thanh Nguyen, Kendi, Kelley, and a foreword by Roberto Lovato supplying the long view.•       Detention Centers & Data Centers. The conversation's bridge to this show's long Luddite summer: Kolhatkar sees the fight against immigrant detention centers and the fight against AI data centers as one struggle, since both, she argues, distract from and serve the same billionaire fleecing — “if we are busy blaming the day laborer at the street corner for stealing our job, we're not gonna look at what Elon Musk has done.” Even MAGA voters, she notes, don't want to live next to either. On movements that wither, her revision: Black Lives Matter didn't fizzle, it was muzzled — Musk bought Black Twitter, its biggest bullhorn — and its abolitionist platform reads as current as ever: take the first four letters away from police, and you're left with ICE. Her ask of journalism itself: solutions journalism — start with how people are fighting back, not one more story of how they're being crushed. About the Guest Sonali Kolhatkar is an award-winning multimedia journalist and the founder, host, and executive producer of Rising Up With Sonali, the long-running television and radio show airing on Free Speech TV and Pacifica stations.

Nikki Glaser kicks off the show with a birthday message for Rizz, which is probably the classiest thing that happens for the next 43 minutes. Because immediately after that, this comedy podcast gets back to the story everybody has questions about: the San Francisco 49ers owner getting busted in an alleged prostitution sting at a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio.At 9:30 in the morning. On a Sunday.The crew tries to reverse-engineer exactly how somebody with hundreds of millions of dollars winds up in this situation. Was this the final stop of an all-night bender? Did he wake up Sunday morning ready to make terrible choices? How fast does an online prostitution appointment work? Apparently it's like checking into urgent care, except your insurance company has significantly more questions.That leads to an even more important investigation: how does a police department decide who goes undercover as the prostitute? Is getting picked flattering? Is not getting picked insulting? Somehow Miss Congeniality, ugly-character casting, Marla Hooch, Home Alone, Cry-Baby, Jonah Hill, Rebel Wilson and Johnny Depp all get dragged into the conversation.Then it's time to discuss the upcoming iPhone and whether spending around $1,200 on another rectangle that looks suspiciously like your current rectangle is still exciting. The show heads Back in the Day for anniversaries involving The Wizard of Oz, Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, Boston's legendary debut album, Lauryn Hill, Aaliyah and more.Then Crap on Celebrities brings the pop-culture buffet nobody asked us to curate.ZZ Top plays its first show following the death of drummer Frank Beard, the crew attempts to demonstrate its vast knowledge of Quando Rondo, Ella Langley continues her monster chart run with “Choosing Texas,” and Miranda Lambert enters the conversation thanks to a songwriting story involving a kangaroo. Because sure.There's also a Wendy Williams documentary on the way, which naturally leads to revisiting her infamous Statue of Liberty fainting incident and several other moments from daytime television history. We get TV cancellations, Harry Potter casting talk, massive movie box-office numbers, and news that Paramount is developing a sequel to How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.The Terminator 2 cast reunion also gets reviewed with all the tact and restraint you've come to expect from this comedy podcast. Edward Furlong gets some love, everybody realizes he was only 13 while filming the movie, and Rafe delivers the completely unnecessary observation that the reunion photo looks like “the future they were trying to prevent.”Then we meet celebrities who somehow function without smartphones. Christopher Walken doesn't have a cell phone or use email. Christopher Nolan prefers a landline. Elton John goes without a phone. Michael Cera uses an actual camera. Meanwhile, most of us get nervous if our battery drops below 30%.Birthdays follow, complete with Alexander Skarsgård, Jodi Messina, Claudia Schiffer, Tim Burton, Rob Halford, Gene Simmons, Tom Skerritt and a detour into the days when watching a really long movie required two VHS tapes. Children, ask your grandparents.And then Rafe's arm enters the chat.After roughly 30 weeks of allergy shots because he is apparently allergic to the entire planet, Rafe reveals that his weekly appointment came with a new threat: The Smelly Waiting Room Guy.This man's body odor was so aggressive that Rafe abandoned the waiting room and sat in the hallway despite being required to stick around after his shots. What follows is a full workplace-level investigation into human stink etiquette.When are you obligated to tell someone they smell? How does a manager have that conversation? Do you blame their shoes first? Can coworkers become “smell blind” to one another? What happens when you put perfume on top of funk and accidentally create an entirely new biological weapon?This comedy podcast finally reaches the conclusion society has apparently been afraid to admit: sometimes somebody just needs to tell you that you stink.No heroes. No lessons.

Summer is basically over, the kids are back in school, and some of them returned home looking like they'd just completed a six-month combat deployment instead of one day of algebra. Naturally, that sends The Rizzuto Show down memory lane to discuss suspiciously easy senior-year schedules, bowling classes, walking classes, movie classes, and the beautiful teenage realization that maybe calculus simply isn't going to be part of your personal journey.NFL chaos with the story of 49ers owner Jed York and an alleged prostitution sting in East Palestine, Ohio. The crew tries to understand how a man connected to billions of dollars somehow ends up at the center of a $140 Sunday-morning situation in a mobile home community.A workplace prank involving heavy machinery that ended in tragedy. That leads into a rundown of some of the deadliest jobs in America, including logging, commercial fishing, roofing, steel work, trash collection, aviation, mining, construction, and landscaping. Suddenly sitting in a radio studio complaining about the air conditioning doesn't seem quite as heroic.And because The Rizzuto Show can never stay on one subject for more than the medically recommended amount of time, Fujifilm sends everybody tumbling into a conversation about words that instantly reveal your age. “Videotape.” “Pocketbook.” “Slacks.” “Icebox.” “Billfold.” “Filling station.” “Supper.” Welcome to the portion of the show where everyone discovers they're approximately 900 years old.Then it's time to discuss the upcoming iPhone and whether spending around $1,200 on another rectangle that looks suspiciously like your current rectangle is still exciting. The show heads Back in the Day for anniversaries involving The Wizard of Oz, Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, Boston's legendary debut album, Lauryn Hill, Aaliyah and more.ZZ Top plays its first show following the death of drummer Frank Beard, the crew attempts to demonstrate its vast knowledge of Quando Rondo, Ella Langley continues her monster chart run with “Choosing Texas,” and Miranda Lambert enters the conversation thanks to a songwriting story involving a kangaroo. Because sure.The Terminator 2 cast reunion also gets reviewed with all the tact and restraint you've come to expect from this comedy podcast. Edward Furlong gets some love, everybody realizes he was only 13 while filming the movie, and Rafe delivers the completely unnecessary observation that the reunion photo looks like “the future they were trying to prevent.”Then the show turns to a frightening story out of Columbia, Missouri, where a 21-year-old former Mizzou student suffered severe injuries after falling from the rooftop area at Harpo's. The crew talks about what was known about the accident, the young man's condition, and their own experiences with Columbia's downtown, the Blue Note, Shakespeare's, old venues, King Scott's favorite Wal Mart and the college-town scene. It's a genuinely awful situation, and everybody's hoping the kid pulls through.And then Simpleton Trivia arrives to destroy everybody's self-esteem.The premise sounds insultingly easy: answer 10 common-knowledge questions in 45 seconds.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes Boston-based consultant and lifelong Springsteen fan Andy Freed to discuss Freed's book, "Lead Like The Boss: The Bruce Springsteen Framework to Elevating Your Leadership." Freed shares how discovering "Born to Run" at age eight sparked a fandom that's led to nearly 100 shows, and explains how the arc of a Springsteen concert maps to practical leadership and communication lessons—preparation, staying on message, energizing an audience, building trust, and empowering a team. They talk about Bruce's onstage habits like thanking every band member nightly, the importance of adapting to audience feedback, and the purpose-driven, political tone of the recent tour. Freed also highlights favorite songs and albums, concert memories like See.Hear.Now in Asbury Park, and answers the show's “Mary question” about "Thunder Road." https://a.co/d/09b66cSm 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:39 Meet Andy Freed 02:28 Growing Up With Music 03:13 Discovering Born to Run 06:19 Tour Talk And Politics 07:18 Career Path To Consulting 08:19 Why He Wrote The Book 09:48 Leadership Lessons From The Stage 15:01 Setlists Preparation And Purpose 19:08 Fan View On Predictable Setlists 23:35 Rehearsal And Great Teams 29:11 Audience First Leadership 32:04 Whats Next And Favorite Songs 34:41 Memorable Shows And Future Goals 36:46 Book Buzz And Band Connections 38:21 Thunder Road Mary Question 39:08 Where To Find Andy 40:01 Closing Thanks And Outro Learn more about your ad choices.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes writer and musician David Starkey to Set Listing Bruce to discuss Starkey's book On Track: Bruce Springsteen 1973–1987, Every Album, Every Song and his lifelong relationship to Springsteen's recorded work. Starkey shares how growing up between Sacramento and summers in Beaumont shaped his musical tastes, from Johnny Cash and Aerosmith to discovering Springsteen via Greetings and being captivated by Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town. They talk about the current tour, its political tone, Tom Morello's guitar work, ticket prices, and setlist debates. Starkey explains his writing process, what he learned by re-listening (especially the importance of piano), and why 1987 marks an era's end. The conversation also touches on poetry vs. lyrics, Starkey's interview series The Creative Community, upcoming projects, and the “Mary question” from Thunder Road. https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Bruce-Springsteen-1973-1987/David-Starkey/On-Track/9781789524710 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:39 Meeting David 02:03 Early Music Obsessions 03:44 Family Sounds and Travel 06:59 Johnny Cash Tangent 09:04 Finding Springsteen 10:03 Live Shows and Politics 13:54 Ticket Prices Debate 14:28 Writing and Poetry 18:08 Why This Bruce Book 20:05 Born in the USA Memories 22:14 Researching the Albums 23:53 Why Stop at 1987 25:43 Concert Banter Debate 26:59 River Tour Pacing 27:55 Writing More Personally 29:33 Hot Takes On Songs 30:51 Family Discovers Nebraska 32:06 Biopic Who Is It For 34:35 Bruce Creative Evolution 36:46 Never Repeating Himself 39:41 His Interview Show Origins 41:09 Next Books And Memoir 44:12 Where To Find The Book 45:54 Final Thanks And Signoff 46:24 Podcast Housekeeping Learn more about your ad choices.

The Dog Stars, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Josh Brolin and Jacob Elordi, is about two men who become unlikely compatriots when a pandemic wipes out much of the country's population. Adventure writer Peter Heller spoke with Dave Davies in 2012 about the book, which draws on his own survival skills. Also, we remember pioneering rock critic Dave Marsh. He was an early champion and biographer of Bruce Springsteen, and helped launch the rock magazine Creem before winding up at Rolling Stone. He died August 14 at age 79. Justin Chang reviews the new film Dreams in Nightmares. Subscribe to our free weekly newsletter Follow us on Instagram Subscribe to our YouTube channel Check out the Fresh Air ArchivesSee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
